Sipping our fill

Friday, August 11, 2017

We all ache for rain

after so many days of draught,

We needing to drink from a well

we already know has run dry,

To sip and taste something sweet

after so much bitterness,

Seeing the flow of it in each other’s eyes,

The drip, drip, drip of need

We do not see until we see it in the reflections

Close up, lip to lip, hip to hip,

Road rage roaring inside us

we cannot cure without

Engaging gears,

Needing for the rain to pour over us,

Drip off lips and hips

Until we have finally

Sipped out fill
